Where is Empower Field ranked in USA Today NFL stadium rankings?

Ahead of every season, USA Today staff members from their sports section, 'For the Win', rank all the NFL stadiums, according to different categories. The categories they used for the 2023 rankings were: general atmosphere, design, location, amenities, food, character, and the stadium. 9 staff members put together the list.

Before last season, USA Today has given Empower Field at Mile High the following ranking: #21.

The stadium did not drop in the 2023 rankings but did not go up, as Empower Field at Mile High received the same ranking in 2022.

Regarding Empower Field at Mile High, given the #21 ranking, staff member Andrew Joseph said the following ...

""It’s a stadium that is absolutely starting to show its age (and catches on fire more often than an NFL stadium should). And while it can use modern updates to compete with the newer stadiums in the league, it does have a great location going for it — surrounded (beyond the parking lots) by bars, breweries, restaurants, and a Denny’s. Also, the Denver sunsets are spectacular.""

With a new Denver Broncos ownership group, the Walton-Penner Group and the Denver Broncos decided to invest $100 million in stadium renovations for the 2023-24 season, which includes a larger scoreboard (now 5th-largest in the NFL), and 70% larger than how it was last year, suite renovations, more elevators, more technology, murals around the stadium, a new Premiere-experience club, and a new team store.

The Broncos want a new stadium, but they are in the initial phases of the process...

Can the Broncos have a top 10 stadium in the NFL at some point in the future?
